I don't think people outside of Buckeye Nation realize we don't care! We still love Tressel and so do his players past, present and future. Go Bucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't think OSU fans realize how serious this situation could be. If you read the leaked emails, not only does the lawyer emailing Tressel not ask for confidentiality until after the first email was sent, it's also obvious that Tressel knew he had ineligible players on his hands and told no one. So he in turn ends up misleading investigators and fails to promote an atmosphere of compliance. Those are extremely serious issues in the NCAA's eyes.
